"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.” - George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Down 10.5 for the week. If wishes were horses beggars would ride and I would lose the same for about 6 weeks--LOL

That means I am down about 2 pounds since weigh-in before vacation. I bought the Aria scale and I am also down about 2 pounds in muscle, because my body fat percentage has gone up. Am going to try and focus a little more on my strength training this week.

Debbie, don't forget, you have an injury. That does affect weight loss. I was told that the body will hold fluids around an injury to give it some cushion.

Also you know your body. Mine for instance, in the past when I did not lose weight for a couple weeks, I did lose inches. A loss of 15 pounds for a year is not bad. At least you did not do like I did and gain 70 lbs before getting back into the swing of things! Sometimes I could kick myself--but I am looking forward not back.

Donna.....0.5 loss is still a loss. You are moving in the right direction! --------- Me on the other hand, gained 0.4 last week. That puts my total weight loss for the year at 15.4 lost or an average of -1.28 per week. - I think I need to try harder!

Landscaping took longer than expected; it was 4 PM by the time we got down to Deer Creek. They close the range at 4:30 to clean up and be out of there by 5. So we elected to just make it another day. However, we enjoyed the country ride. Thanks for asking!

Anyway, shooting a pistol probably would not have been the best thing for my shoulder.

Good job Donna! You are consistent. ---------------------------------------------- Unbelievably, I am down - 5.6 pounds for the week. (Maybe last week was a fluke weigh in cause it showed me gaining +3.4.) I weighed myself a couple of times to make sure this week's number of 198.6 was accurate, and it was.
